Short review. Witchcraft is real. High school cliques are going to fight over the new girl in school.
Long review. I wanted to read this book for 2 reasons. Reason #1, I quite enjoyed the 2016 movie "The Unkindness of Ravens." I knew immediately that this book had nothing to do with that movie as there were no homeless war veterans nor any ravens nor ravenlike monsters on the cover or preview pages. But I was intrigued by word association to at least pay more attention to it. Reason 2# was Dan Panosian's name was attached. I have been fascinated by Dan's artwork the last couple of years as he is truly a unique and talented artist now. I still can't quite believe he's the same Rob Liefeld clone from the early Image days... but I digress. So I was familiar with the title and Dan was going to draw it. Great! Except Dan is the writer??? Mairanna Ignazzi is listed as the artist. So not related to the movie I know and written not drawn by the artist I like? Hmmm. Yet the cover looked like an updated version of the movie, "The Craft". Well, I love "The Craft". Reviews of other books Dan has written are fairly good. So I read it anyway. It's pretty good. Basically it is TV Buffy meets Modern Sabrina meets the Craft meets Mean Girls with very clean artwork that brings memories of Jim Aparo and Don Heck to mind. Even though it looks nothing like Jim or Don's superhero work that I am familiar with, but on page 12 there is a face that just screams 60s/ 70s male face to me. Sprinkle in some terrific coloring by Fabiana Mascolo and I am hooked for a few more issues. Not what I wanted but I liked it anyway.
